In one OF the cities of Italy, in olden times.
the king caused a bell To be hung in the tower
OF one OF the public squares, and called IL
1.-THE bell OF Justice" 1t was commanded by
this king that any ono who had been
wronged should go and ring the bell, and so
call the magistrate of the city, AMI ask and
receive justice. The story is told that when'
in the course of time, the end Of the bell rope
rotted away, a wild vine was tied to it to
lengthen it; and one day an old and starving
horse that had been abandoned by its owner
and turned out to die, wandered into the
tower, and in trying to eat the vine rang the
bell. And the magistrate OF the city, coming
to see who rang the bell, found this old and
starving horse. He caused the owner OF that
horse, In whose service it had toiled and been
worn out, to he summoned before him. and
decreed that, Us his poor horse had rung the
bell of justice, he should have justice, and that
during the horses life his owner should pro-
vide him with proper food, drink and stable.
